"I think maybe it's called leadership (or lack thereof); why is Jones
only crying about this now? This is the first I've heard him complain
about it." -twofbyc

"Why should the governor entrust Sam with anything. He already proved
that he can't handle money to the City of Mobile. He raised taxes, cut
jobs, etc., and is still crying for his piece of the pie. I guess he
forgot he had the moonpie. Maybe he should resign and go get himself a
BP job instead. That would certainly help the city. It just amazes me
how greedy people become when they think they can get something for
nothing. He just hasn't had time to worry about "his BP" money yet
because he has been probably "doctoring" everything up that his hands
has touched while the peoples heads were turned so he is not found out
about where all the money went for the City of Mobile." -sirk

"Sammy, Sammy, Sammy, do you have any idea how much more ridiculous this
article makes you look? More than you already are. Sad, very sad." -kindablondie

"Whatever his reason for keeping silent for 70 some odd days, it was an
incompetent move. He ought to know the squeakiest wheel gets the grease,
which is why that imbecile looking Wright is making our decisions for
us. Mobile will get whatever protection he decides to offer it at this
point. However, it did not escape my attention that Jones is trying to
take a page out of Wright's play book in naming a contractor of his
choosing. BP is foolish if they continue to give these guys a path to
possibly funnel money. " -SMH

"I can't think of anything either of these politicians have done about
the oil spill. I did see a picture of Riley in a helicopter looking at
it but that's about it." -honkytonker

"Riley almost immediately activated the National Guard and personally
come down here ON THE BEACHES to see how the Boom placement was going.
Most of the Booms the Obama admin delivered to Alabama was relocated to
New Orleans for a Photo op with Obama. Where was Sam Jones when that
Happened ?????" -nyclad

"Sam cares about what thing and one thing only.... MONEY. Just show him
the money and he will shut up. What he does with it is his business.
Perhaps he can build another Mardi Gras park or buy another SUV for
himself or his friends. Sam Jones needs to be investigated for his lack
of transparency and corruption in the city budget. His complaints to the
state government are both selfish and foolish. He doesn't know what he
is talking about!" -ezekiel77

"It's good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't get their phone calls
returned... Jones and his cronies are holed up in that leaky building
just dodging bullets. It's time for change and it can't come quick
enough." -parrothead30
